dont worry i do that too!! then people ask if im going to lock it.......

Yep, me too :P

Then when they see it pull itself shut, they always say "ooh, niiiiice". - yes I know, Stephen, could be taken as dirty, but I refuse to change it!

I've had mine 3+ years and every time I see Mrs 66 drive away I think to myself "thats a nice looking car" LOL

Yeah, had mine for 2+ years but I have only thought that twice... Once when my wife drove it shopping and once when we moved and my Dad was following the truck I was driving... other than that, I think it to myself almost every time I leave or approach it.

I had a quarantine check inspector have a hell of a time with the tailgate in our S1 - he 1/2 closed it, then opened it when it was self closing, then tried to close it when the motor was still running.

I ended up suggesting that I could close it for him so he could move on to the car behind us

:down:

They are a top piece of kit, and welcome to the family!

welcome!!

Yes the self-closing boot is such a cool feature. Its so handy when you have your hands full and you can just get your hand on the boot to pull it down. You just let it fall gently against the car without having to try to slam it when you're carrying too much stuff.

The other tricks I like is the levers either side in the boot to fold down the rear seats, so if you're loading something big into the boot you dont need to go round to each side and fold the seats down first.

I'm disappointed the M35 doesn't have the extra cig lighter in the boot, although admittedly I never used it in the s2. Just would be handy if you want to carry one of those waeco fridges in the boot or something.

The s1/s2's also have a removeable mat under the boot - but mine was missing this.

So many gadgets :thumbsup:

this might be going off topic but seeing as we are talking about features.... Does everyone elses S2 do this ?

Lock your car with your remote key, then unlock it again (let's say you accidently bumped the unlock button putting keys in pocket). In 30seconds, it locks itself again. It senses none of the doors have been opened within that time and decides it was a false unlock.

Now is this part of my clifford alarm or a standard stagea feature ?

most alarms do this, and also the factory immobiliser (whatever it may be) should do this too. its not just a nissan thing, my honda did it, the scoob, the fiat does it too. its just a security feature incase you bump the remote

I reckon that's an alarm feature. Mine never did that, but with the aftermarket alarm, the immobiliser comes on if the key hasn't been put into the ignition after approx 30secs when you remote unlock/disarm it.

The M35 is self-locking (most annoying feature ever) but the s2 is not. Must be a feature of your alarm. Read your alarm manual, I've had alarms that do this but its usually possible to disable the feature.

I've yet to read the V35 manual through to see if its possible to disable the auto-locking on the M35. There is also obviously some combination of doors opening that will prevent it from locking again, but I haven't yet worked out exactly what it is yet...just seems to lock sometimes but not others...

thanks for all the replies everyone. i got a white 98 serise 2 with a dolphin kit and 18inch chromies. so happy with it. and im still shocked at the power delivery. all the gadgets wtill amaze me and i think always will haha. stupid newbie question. the switch to the left of the steering wheel with the s inside the picture of the drive train?? whats it do?? i never wanna stop driving it. ill post some pics up some time as soon as i can. thanks everyone.

Yep, me too :)

Glad to see I'm not the only freak....once swapped cars with my wife on a drive just so I could see it moving...lol....she only got it for 5 minutes though....then I had to have MY PRECIOUS back!!!!

The synchro switch locks on the awd to give 50/50 front/ rear drive when you start off. At higher speeds the computer takes over again and sends most drive to the rear except when the rear starts to lose traction.
hahah if you unlock the car, and dont open any door, it will lock itself again. open a door and it wont re-lock. easy!

nope. if I unlock the car, open the driver or front passenger door and close it, it will still re-lock. even with the boot open it will still re-lock. Its only been things like when all 4 doors open and close then say one opens again and stays open that it wont lock again - something like that. Like I said, its more complex than just leaving a door open, and I've yet to work it out.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
